Researcher using radar to uncover 'ghost' footprints at White Sands National Park
Seligman, Arizona - The Birthplace of HISTORIC Route 66
Enjoying a root beer float from Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In on a HOT summer day (thank you, Denise!) and then walking into Angel & Vilma's Delgadillo's Route 66 Gift Shop & Visitor's Center...
In 1926, the idea of Route 66 was born. Although much of Route 66 was in use that first decade during construction, it was not until 1938 that it was reported as continuously paved from Chicago to Los Angeles. Originally Route 66 ran through Seligman along the railroad tracks, where Railroad Avenue lies today. Before long it was moved one block north to where it has remained.
Because Route 66 crossed areas of the country that were mostly flat terrain with moderate climates, the new highway provided easy driving from the Midwest to the Pacific. Route 66's untraditional diagonal course connected numerous rural towns bringing greater mobility to the people of the remote communities as well as
the travelers passing through.
As traffic started flowing through town, the ranch and railroad-based Seligman became linked to greater America in another way besides the railroad. Because the birth of Route 66 coincided with the depression it did not immediately help bring a great deal of prosperity to the small town. But later in the more prosperous years after World War II, more mobile Americans started touring the country in their cars. Residents began
to develop new businesses and services for travelers. Motels, restaurants, gas stations, and automobile service stations occupied the town.
Because America was becoming increasingly mobile President Eisenhower committed himself to building a system of efficient national highways across the country. In 1956 the Federal Aid Highway Act was passed.
This led to the freeway system that we know today which runs past all the small towns that Route 66 once connected. By 1970 almost all of the original sections of America's Main Street were bypassed by freeways. In 1978, Interstate 40 opened just a couple miles south of Seligman, replacing U.S. Highway 66 as the main thoroughfare across northwest Arizona. Not until 1984 did the final section of the Chicago-to-Los Angeles highway get bypassed by the freeway system just 43 miles east of Seligman in Williams, Arizona. The most famous road in America was no more.
Seligman is known as The Birthplace of Historic Route 66 not because it is the birthplace of Route 66 itself but because it is the birthplace of its rejuvenation as a historic highway. In 1987, residents of Seligman, most notably, Angel Delgadillo, along with fellow Route 66 lovers in Kingman founded the Historic Route 66 Association of
Arizona and through their efforts the State of Arizona dedicated U.S. 66 from Seligman to Kingman as Historic Route 66. Now all stretches of Route 66 in Arizona are
designated as historic and Seligman is its birthplace.
Seligman has the pleasure of being the first stop heading west on the longest uninterrupted stretch of Route 66. For approximately 160 miles, from exit 139 on I-40 all
the way to Topock, Arizona, the nostalgic-minded can drive back in time and experience America's Main Street much the same as did travelers from different eras.
Historic Route 66 has been resigned and many stretches are scenic byways. There are even new Burma Shave signs up to help get the full historic experience. Route 66 does indeed live on and Seligman is proud to be a part of the living history that is The Mother Road.
Public Square | Episode 408 | Home Visitation Preview
Parenting doesn’t come with an instruction manual. Yet as a society, we assume that new parents will automatically know how to meet their babies’ needs. That makes for hit or miss child rearing. In the worst cases, that can mean neglect and even abuse. We have seen those tragedies play out far too often in New Mexico as we languish at the bottom of rankings in child well-being.
One way to help parents is through home visiting. It’s getting a lot of attention nationally as a way to support caregivers and help children thrive. New Mexico has steadily increased funding for home visiting programs, but we’re still just reaching a fraction of children who could benefit. And advocates say more investment now would save money down the road on social services, incarceration and poor educational outcomes.
So how can we ensure children and families get the support they need? On this month’s Public Square, we talk with parents who receive home visiting programs as well as home visitors and experts in infant mental health. We also speak with state representatives Javier Martinez, D-Albuquerque, and Jimmie C. Hall, R-Albuquerque, as well as Kelly Klundt with the Legislative Finance Committee and Selestte Sanchez, director of home visiting programs for the Children Youth and Families Department.
Funding for the production of this Public Square program is provided by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation working to improve the lives of vulnerable children. This program is the result of a partnership with Mission: Graduate and funded locally by the United Way of Central New Mexico. And, this program is part of American Graduate, let’s make it happen, a public media initiative made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

USCIS and the Government Shutdown
In this episode, we talk about USCIS, the Government shutdown,and how to contact your federal government representatives.
The Government Shutdown does not affect Citizenship services.
The USCIS will continue to process USCIS Form N-400 Applications for Naturalization and interview applicants for U.S. Citizenship.
However, several USCIS programs will either expire or suspend operations, or be otherwise affected, until they receive appropriated funds or are reauthorized by Congress. These include:
1. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Center Program. The EB-5 visa allows eligible Immigrant Investors to become lawful permanent residents by investing at least $1,000,000 to finance a business in the United States that will employ at least 10 American workers
2. E-Verify. This free internet-based system allows businesses to check the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
3. Conrad 30 J-1 doctors. This program allows J-1 doctors to apply for a waiver of the two-year residence requirement after completing the J-1 exchange visitor program.
4. Religious workers. This special immigrant category allows non-minister religious workers to immigrate or adjust status in the United States.
Source: Lapse in Federal Funding for Certain USCIS Operations
DACA is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. This is an American immigration policy that allows some individuals who entered the country as minors, to live, work, and go to school in the United States with out fear of deportation.
Last September, the Trump administration tried to end the DACA program. In January 2018, a federal judge said that USCIS must continue to renew DACA applications.
Further note: Last week, Trump rejected a bipartisan Senate immigration proposal, which included shielding DACA recipients from deportation.
Source: USCIS: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals: Response to January 2018 Preliminary Injunction
The government shutdown occured in part because the Democrats are demanding a congressional vote on an immigration reform package which includes path towards citizenship for DACA recipients. In response, the Republicans are demanding more money for national security which includes a wall along the US-Mexico border.
The Democrats and Republicans are still meeting about the budget which will include funding for CHIP--The Children's Health Insurance Program and disaster relief for areas such as Puerto Rico. Please watch the news for updates.
If you have an opinion about the budget, immigration, DACA, CHIP, disaster relief, or any other topic, you can contact your representative by phone or email via Senate.gov or House.gov.
Frequently, the website will ask about your Zip + 4,which is your zip code plus your route number, which you can find by following the link to USPS.com and entering your street address
You can also write or call the President
The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 202-456-1111
Leave a simple message such as: I support DACA or I support CHIP.
Or you can exercise your right to peacable assembly by marching with thousands of women across America this weekend and in the months to come.
Thanks to the students and staff of Milpitas Adult School. A special thanks goes out to USCIS SF Community Relations Officer Lucee Rosemarie Fan. Every single day, Officer Fan and her fellow USCIS officers, help new US citizens achieve their American Dream. Officer Fan--good luck on your retirement!

Buena Park - Orange County - 4K California
#BuenaPark #LosAngeles #RawPro
Buena Park (/ˈbweɪnə/) is a city in northwestern Orange County, about 12 miles (20 km) northwest of downtown Santa Ana, the county seat. As of Census 2010 its population was 80,530. It is the location of several tourist attractions, including Knott's Berry Farm. It is located about 24 miles southeast of Downtown Los Angeles and is within the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Original Spanish explorers settled on the enormous ranchos by land grants made by the King of Spain. Manuel Nieto of the Portolà expeditions received such a grant in 1783, which was divided by his heirs into five separate ranchos in 1834. One of them, 46,806-acre (189.42 km2) Rancho Los Coyotes, included the current site of the City of Buena Park. The rancho's adobe headquarters lay on what is now Los Coyotes Country Club's golf course.
The area was transferred from Spanish authority to Mexican rule in 1822 and ceded to the United States in 1848 at the end of the Mexican–American War. California was granted statehood in 1850. Americanization further expanded in the area after completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 and its connection to Los Angeles in 1875. By then, Abel Stearns had acquired Rancho Los Coyotes in consideration for loans made to Pio and Andrés Pico. In 1885, James A. Whitaker, a wholesale grocer from Chicago, purchased 690 acres (2.8 km2) of this land from Stearns. In 1887, Whitaker founded the City of Buena Park in conjunction with the railway development of what we now know as Orange County.
The exact derivation of the name Buena Park is uncertain. One theory is that Whitaker used the name of a Chicago suburb: Buena Park, Chicago, Illinois, although the community in Illinois was also named in 1887. Another theory relates to the artesian well and its park-like grounds once located at the current intersection of what are now Artesia and Beach Boulevards. Local settlers referred to the area as Plaza Buena which means good park in Spanish.
The city was incorporated on January 27, 1953. An agricultural center when founded (particularly dairy, wine and citrus products), Buena Park is now primarily a residential suburb and commercial hub.
The Murder of Stuart Tay occurred in 1992.
In 2009, the body of swimsuit model and reality TV star Jasmine Fiore was found stuffed in a suitcase and dumped in an apartment building dumpster near the 7400 block of Franklin Street in northern Buena Park by a resident searching for recyclables.
Points of interest
Buena Park's E-Zone district, located along Beach Boulevard, is home to several well-known tourist destinations: the venerable Knott's Berry Farm theme park and its sister water park Knott's Soak City, Pirate's Dinner Adventure Show, and a Medieval Times dinner show. The E-Zone has also been home to the Movieland Wax Museum, one of the largest of its kind in the world until it closed in 2005; a Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum (It closed on March 30, 2009.), across the street from the Wax Museum; and the Japanese Village and Deer Park on Knott Avenue.
Los Coyotes Country Club, located in the northeast of the city, boasts a 27-hole championship course originally designed by Billy Bell in 1957 and redesigned by Ted Robinson in 1998. The Los Coyotes LPGA Classic golf tournament has been hosted there.
The 105-acre Ralph B. Clark Regional Park (originally Los Coyotes Regional Park), nestled at the foot of the West Coyote Hills, is one of Orange County's prominent parks. Opened in 1981, it is home to an amphitheater, nature trails, and a stocked fishing pond, as well as the Interpretive Center, a small museum which features ice age fossil and local geology exhibits.
The City of Buena Park has its own local history park on Beach Blvd just south of Interstate 5. On these grounds, the city has preserved several historic buildings. These include the Whitaker-Jaynes House (which serves as the city's local history museum) the Bacon House - possibly the oldest surviving structure from the area, the Stage Stop Hotel (which houses the California Welcome Center-Orange County) and the Tice House. The Buena Park Historical Society manages and maintains the historical content of the museum. The Dreger Clock, a 75-year-old multi-faced street clock, best known for the time it spent at Knott's Berry Farm, was installed in front of the Whitaker/Jaynes house overlooking Beach Blvd in September 2009 after a two-year restoration project.
A Nabisco factory on Artesia Boulevard was known for many years as a Buena Park landmark. The red Nabisco sign was visible from the I-5 Freeway, and visitors to the town could often smell cookies. The factory produced Honey Maid graham crackers, Ritz Crackers, and Nilla Wafers, among other Nabisco products, before shutting down in 2006.
5 REAL Places That Could Be PORTALS to Another DIMENSION
The idea of parallel universes and various planes of existence have been entertained by the brightest minds of our ancient past as well as by deep-rooted spiritual practices and religious beliefs. But in our modern era, some people have even gone so far as to identify which areas are currently hiding portals, stargates or passageways which grant access to worlds and dimensions beyond our own.

Big Foot Stretch From Pole Canyon Condor Chick – July 17, 2019
Sometimes you just need a break! The condor chick gets comfortable by stretching out its legs across the nest cavity floor. At hatching, condor legs and feet are pale to yellowish gray, becoming gray at time of fledging.
Watch live at allaboutbirds.org/condors
This condor nest, known as the Pole Canyon nest, is located in a remote canyon near the Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge. The parents of the chick in the Pole Canyon nest are mom #563 and dad #262. Dad #262 was laid in 2001 and was the first viable egg laid in the wild since the reintroduction program began. He was actually one of two eggs laid to a trio (male #100 and females #111 and #108) but was brought into captivity to ensure proper incubation. He hatched at the Los Angeles Zoo and was released back to the wild a year later in 2002. Mom #563 hatched at the Oregon Zoo in 2010. This is their first nesting attempt together but both have nested previously with mates who are now deceased. A single egg was laid in this nesting cavity, and the chick hatched on April 10, 2019.
-About the Condor Recovery Project-
California Condors are critically endangered; they are on the 2014 State of the Birds Watch List, which lists species most in danger of extinction without significant conservation action. They are also listed as Endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and as Critically Endangered by the IUCN. All of the more than 400 condors now alive are descended from 27 birds that were brought into captivity in the early 1980s, in a controversial but successful captive breeding program.
As of 2014, there were more than 230 individuals in the wild in California, Arizona, and Baja California. The number has been rising steadily each year, as captive-bred birds are released and wild pairs fledge young from their own nests. More than 160 additional condors live in captivity at breeding programs or on exhibit at the Los Angeles Zoo, Oregon Zoo, World Center for Birds of Prey, Phoenix Zoo, Chapultepec Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and San Diego Zoo. Condors have benefited greatly from the Endangered Species Act and from aggressive efforts to breed them in captivity and re-release them into the wild, but the survival of the species is still dependent on human intervention.
The California Condor Recovery Program (Recovery Program) is a multi-entity effort, led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to recover the endangered California Condor. Partners in condor recovery include the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Arizona Game and Fish Department, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Utah Department of Fish and Wildlife, the federal government of Mexico, Los Angeles Zoo, Oregon Zoo, Santa Barbara Zoo, Chapultepec Zoo, San Diego Zoo, Oakland Zoo, The Peregrine Fund, Ventana Wildlife Society, Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology, Yurok Tribe, and a host of other governmental and nongovernmental organizations.
The Recovery Program is now in the final phase of recovery, focusing on the creation of self-sustaining populations. The Program is placing increased emphasis on the captive-breeding and reintroduction of California Condors to the wild and the management of that wild population. These efforts combine trying to reduce the threat of lead with actively managing nesting in the wild to increase the number of wild-fledged chicks.
The goal of the California Condor Recovery Plan is to establish two geographically distinct self-sustaining populations, each with 150 birds in the wild and at least 15 breeding pairs, with a third population of condors retained in captivity. As the Recovery Program works toward this goal, the number of release sites has grown. There are three active release sites in California, one in Arizona, and one in Baja California, Mexico.
The effort to create a livestreaming cam on a wild condor nest could not have happened without the effort, funding, and expertise of a wide consortium of collaborators.

Two small beaches and a Thatched Cottage - Hope Cove, South Devon, England
Hope Cove is a small seaside village within the civil parish of South Huish in South Hams District, Devon, England. It is located some 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Salcombe and 5 miles (8.0 km) south-west of Kingsbridge. It has two beaches, and is sheltered by the headland of Bolt Tail.
History:
Historically, the village falls into two parts — Outer Hope and Inner Hope. Inner Hope fell within the parish of Malborough until the 1970s, when it was united with its neighbor on the other side of a small headland. Both parts of the village originally developed as centres for the local fishing industry. Hope also developed a reputation for smuggling and for plundering wrecked ships.[1]
In 1588, the ships of the Spanish Armada passed the village as they moved up the English Channel. After the Armada was defeated and headed back through storms, the San Pedro el Mayor, a transport ship fitted out as a hospital, was blown onto the rocks between Inner and Outer Hope. The 140 survivors were initially sentenced to death, but were eventually ransomed and sent back to Spain.[2]
The village was the setting for a number of studies by the Victorian painter Sir Luke Fildes; inspiring the cottage in his famous work in oil 'The Doctor'. [3]
Lifeboat:
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution established a lifeboat station at Hope Cove in 1878 on land donated by the Earl of Devon. Four boats, all named Alexandra, were supplied in 1887, 1900 and 1903. The station was closed in April 1930 by which time the neighbouring station at Salcombe had been equipped with a motor lifeboat which could cover Bigbury Bay.[4]
In 1992 the service was re-established under the management of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) as part of the Cliff Rescue Team (CRT), the MCA withdrew support and funding for the boat in 2010. The Hope Cove Life Boat was then established as an Independent Life Boat with the support of the village and a registered charity was established to run and maintain the service. A new boat Alexandra was launched at Easter in 2013 paid for with funds raised from the village and visitors. The charity is run by volunteers and the boat is also crewed by volunteers who train and respond in their own time. More details can be found here hopecovelifeboat.org

Wade Keniston likes Wickenburg...He loves San Fran
The U.S. Army created Fort McDowell on the Verde River in 1865 to forestall Native American uprisings.[19] The fort established a camp on the south side of the Salt River by 1866, which was the first non-native settlement in the valley after the decline of the Hohokam. In later years, other nearby settlements would form and merge to become the city of Tempe,[20] but this community was incorporated after Phoenix.

Emanuel Point III Shipwreck
During the Combined Archaeological Field Methods course in June 2016, the University of West Florida archaeology team detected a magnetic anomaly in an area between the first two Emanuel Point shipwreck sites and the recently-discovered land site for the Luna settlement. That anomaly led to the discovery of ballast stones, iron concretions and articulated hull of the ship, including frames and hull planking, as well as remnants of ceramics once carried on it. The new shipwreck - named Emanuel Point III - was found thanks to a Special Category Grant from the Florida Division of Historical Resources.
